For whatever reason, Do-yoon has my whole heart. Is it the Darcy-esque shots of his fist whenever he needs to hold himself back or gather his strength? Is it his adorable yet fraught bromance with Seo-ha? Is it the way he looks after his younger brother and is consistently understated and dignified whenever that jerk tries to provoke him? Probably all of the things, but I loved him as a character this week. Not that I’m not into the other characters, but his was/is really working for me.

@daebakgrits Your recap is so funny. TS, alcohol mix, 100 ep weekend healing drama , sisters before misters, "Why Her?" drama trauma...Hahaha 😂😂😂

The actor playing Cho Won is definitely going to land a main role or a lead role soon. She was absolutely winning in that vulnerable confrontation scene with Ji Eum ❤ Even the child actors continue to be exceptional.

This show has my whole heart whenever it does not focus on the main romance which is bland and fizzling instead of sizzling. Yeah, I know the ML has tragic upon tragic going on for him, but in other dramas I could still feel the slow burn romance in ill fated OTPs. I want the leads to remain friends because that is the vibe I get from their relationship.

As much as I am worried about Ae Gyeong, I the tricky rule of not revealing about one's past identities to people makes sense because it wouldn't allow their beloved to move on from the grief and live their life to the fullest. After all past is past.

Since, Do Yun now has everything in the open with Seo Ha, I think it would do him good to quit and find a job elsewhere. Working with a friend is a joy, but not at the cost of getting his status/pride constantly disparaged.

Chae Jong Hyeop as a potentially tragic rickshaw driver in the 1920s deserves his own drama.

Woof, this show does not rest on its heels, huh. I loved all the progress and development on the sisterhood front and the boy's little apologies to each other after their literal playground fight had my whole heart.

That being said this week was mostly me yelling at my screen "What!! No!! Not Ae-gyeong!!! Noooooo!! Leave her alone!"

I just to start off with ... My heart ....

That gorgeous beach / ocean scene, that dance and how happy Seo Ha seemed (with that smile of his).

I am happy that her past lives (not just the 18th) are starting to show up more and I liked it because it's starting to show how the Ji Eum is being shaped by her past and past connections.

My heart also went out to Lady Choi (no!!!! Don't die!!!!!) 😱😱😱😱😱😱 I sincerely hope that there's a cure for the consequences of knowing Ji Eum's reincarnation because if Cho Won also dies too, I will be 💔💔💔💔💔💔

I got a shocked when episode 6 ended, it felt so short! And we are officially half way through this drama. I hope my heart holds out

And 😏😏😏 did anyone else notice Min Ki's broad shoulder ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ when he was sitting and staring at Ji Eum's room door? Gotta rewatch Episode 6 tonight 😘😘😘😘

@daebakgrits thank you for the weecap. The joy of watching things unfurl with like minded beanies as the weeks pass is why this site is the best community. I echo @emsel you had me at ‘sisters before misters’🤣. When Chowon made an unplanned confession to Doyoon in the stairwell I felt it for her as that is exactly the kind of mess up that we can all relate to and no amount of verbal auto correct is helping people unhear it🥺 The status battle is real but I hope it doesn’t stop Doyoon from accepting that his heart has already gone all in. Her family are lovely and I hope would be more than willing to have him and his brother in their family.

The conflict and uncertainty about whether to connect or observe from afar reminds me so much of the female leads in Hi, bye, Mama and Go back couple who missed their mum’s. On a side note did she really think she was in any way hidden from her mum and sister when she stood behind the bush that only partially hid her face?

I also agree the car crash random inserts are exactly like the frequency rate of the one in Why her. The only other show that brought back a similar vibe was Mental coach Jegal which was worse because they showed the random body drops as well as explaining them in his unofficial therapy sessions just in case anyone missed it at the back. I know the stunts costs money and the people who coordinate it need recognition to get their next job but it’s the worst kind of PPL and is traumatising. I dread to think what it must do for anyone who has witnessed any kind of car crash in real life.

Gimme all the hugs! Two lovely ones this week.

I didn't expect the sister reunion to hit me like it did with the uncle & niece one. Ji Eum and Cho Won's hug brought tears to my eyes. Cho Won was so sweet and earnest. I could see how much she missed her big sis. Ji Eum's shocked, but happy face was also touching. This was such a wonderful scene.

Really enjoy seeing Ha Yoon Kyung in this drama. She exudes kindness and affection as Cho Won. I get a kick whenever I see her get into her big ol' truck too.

I'm glad that Cho Won and Do Yoon have their own side stories (not their pairing) that aren't fluff. Can't wait to see their romance develop though!

This chick is weird and I’m constantly torn between liking her weirdness and being weirded out by it. (So does that make me Seo-ha?) I loved her telling Ae-gyeong that Cho-won knows how to keep a secret, followed by Cho-won spilling the beans left and right like an overstuffed burrito. And how could Seo-ha possibly have not known that Do-yun’s father was his family’s driver? How could Do-yun have kept that secret for years from someone so close to him? Even if Dad was paying him to keep mum, how do you shut up the younger brother who looks up to Seo-ha? Nah. But that’s a quibble; overall, this is still cracky fun and I’m looking forward to more mystery and to Seo-ha and Do-yun being irresistibly drawn into the sisters’ orbit.

I am thoroughly enjoying this drama!

That being said, I really wish we had steered clear of the child-murder TOD plot ::groans:: Like, it’s terrible enough in a saguek but even more f’d up in a modern day setting. I’m also just not really invested in the hotel management struggle or the nasty stepmother story. It’s just kind of blah and a boring thread in an otherwise unique story.

What IS piquing my interest are the mystery characters and the potential detrimental repercussions the FL’s actions have on those from her past life. I’m still not sure if I want the OTP to end up together or heal each other and move on, so it will be interesting to see how that will be affected by said repercussions.

In any case, the weekend cannot come fast enough!

The main romance being bland and somehow forced takes from my enjoyment watching the show. Other plot lines like the second lead couple and the mysterious two new players are more attractive. Actually, aside from Joo-won breaking introverted Seo-ha's walls as children and then the trauma post the accident, I don't find a reason behind that "epic" love story that transcends life times.

Also, I am glad Do-yoon's father is the driver ( Something I correctly assumed Horray) and not the culprit. A story with him being the truck driver and Do-yoon feeling guilty about it would be too off-putting. But this way is better. ho do I feel it is the father not the step-mother behind it all? The meeting with the suspicious man, CEO of security company, is getting me nervous.

For the very first time, I'm noticing a kdrama where the FL's family is like as super rich as the ML's. Cho-won's car aside -which is an obvious PPL right in my face- , a vacation house! In the woods!! The writer really crafted this world very well.

I kinda guessed right that Ae-gyeong's illness was due to Ji-eum but not because of knowing Ji-eum, but due to Ji-eum being around her for close to 14 years now. I don't want it getting detrimental. But then, Ae-gyeong has know her for up to 14 years now so I guess there's enough time for Ji-eum to find a solution for Cho-won, her 18th life mom, and Seo-ha. I just don't want Ae-gyeong to be the test-run for it. She has to survive.

I'm already scared that this romance will end along the lines of " Ji-eum loved them enough to let them go".

Cho-won is adorable. Period. And what an aggressive chick. I was laughing at her as she went on and on.

Truthfully, I'm not a Do-yoon guy. He's not bad, but he's not too open either. And he's not Ji-eum's fan, nor did he verbally accept Cho-won's hand(just a quibble, not a reason). I understand why he's acted this way and with the new reveal about his dad working for Seo-ha's family, I see more why he has this kind of dynamic with Seo-ha as opposed to his younger brother. It cool for me that his reason for rejecting adorably aggressive Cho-won's hand is due to the class divide and I want him to walk through that in his own pace but not for too long. Don't keep that lady waiting. I do admire how he deals with Seo-ha's father. Seo-ha's father might get the information he wants from him, but he's not going to have him in his hands.
Seo-ha's step-mum's right-hand man...I hope we are not looking at a birth secret of some sort here. He spoke like those men who birthed a child in someone else's home and are well aware of it. Perhaps her son is his and is not even Seo-ha's half brother at all.

I like the two female leads, in this one, and I did think the reestablishment of sisterly bonds was the best use of the reincarnation fantasy so far. I’m not so crazy about the romance anymore, because the childhood trauma is just being way overdone. I’ll bet that the whole reason she reincarnated so soon was to serve as the angel of mercy to help both Do Hun and her sister, but, maybe, due to the well-known evil side-effects of telling people you’ve been reincarnated, she’s doing nothing but bringing up the trauma while causing garden plants to die.

Still, do we need to see the accident over and over again? And then we have a second male trauma sufferer—a guy who is brutally mean to the woman who loves him, because why? He suffers the indignities of class! Undoubtedly traumatic, but millions around the world are able to be nice enough to their romantic interests while suffering much more. It really does raise the question for me why these beautiful women have fallen for these particular men. The guys don’t even have a helicopter at their disposal.

I still feel the reincarnation is being underused as a theme, except to highlight a variety of talented child actors. Perhaps that sinister shaman will eliminate the accumulated memories of her past lives, and the point will be something about identity and memory, or alternatively, more positively, about shedding the burdens of the past.

One more thing about reincarnation—I thought in Korea it was primarily a Buddhist concept, so what is the shaman doing in there? Having asked that, I do recall in that theological documentary, The Heavenly Idol, that the evil seaweed goddess was performing rites in Catholic Church, so I know that religious syncretism exists in Kdrama cosmology. Also, regardless of what religious faith you are, there’s no more jarring sound that one of jingling bells!

“With our reincarnated heroine dropping hints faster than Taylor Swift drops new singles”
The writer of the recap deserves an award.

With that said- I’m watching too many dramas simultaneously right now.
Despite some minor hiccups here and there, See you in my 19th is the one I’m impatiently waiting for every week.

Thank you for the recap DaebakGrits.
I continue to love everything about this show and look forward to each episode.
All the actors are on par, including the children, portraying three dimensional characters with each backstory now forming.
The show isn't dialogue heavy so each actor is having to do the hard work of portraying subtle emotion via facial expression or body posture and movement.
Chae Jong Hyeop was only in the show for a couple of minutes this week and boy was he exceptional.
I love the exploration of grief and how it impacts on each individual character.
I love that Seo Ha is aware of how weird and difficult her behaviour would seem to others and the conflict of being Ji Eum or Juwon to Seo Ha and all that it entails.
There is no easy answer, life is difficult. Remembering 19 lives is bittersweet and a curse in itself.
Honestly, I could watch a spin off show about any of the characters on the show, they are so interesting.
Cinematically the framing, styling and visuals continue to be stunning.
The OST supports the story so well.
I am sad we are halfway through the run.

I commend your kindness @daebakgrits: I would have written "...faster than Taylor Swift dumps her boyfriends."

I need Do-Yoon to find the courage to let himself being happy. The jerk doesn't deserve the attention.

Hug scenes are the best! I like how he asked and she didn't hesitate. It's nice to see Shin Hye-Sun with a very tall actor.

Ji-Eun and Cho-Won were so touching. I love their relationship!
Han-Na could be Seo-Ha's mother reincarnation and she still remembers her past life? She changes the flower, she knows about Ji-Eun's secret, she was happy to see Seo-Ha, not as happy to see Lee Sang-Hyuk in the corridor.

I came for the romance, but find myself more interested in the FL's past lives, and the consequences of having lived, loved and lost so many times. However, I am willing to let ABH convince me otherwise on the romance in the next 6 episodes. I love how he's cracking open, bit by bit. Whereas, SHS excels in the emotional beats with her niece, sister, mother, etc. With ABH, her character swings between manic pixie dream girl and...can't find the right word...maternal, sisterly, some kind of non-romantic love and concern for our traumatized ML.

How will 19th Life wrap up so quickly and satisfactorily with so many threads? Whereas that other hotel show not only gets 16 episodes, but each one seems to be feature length?

I like the mystery, but three characters who can remember their past lives is too much. Especially after Ji-eum told Cho-won that she was different. We didn't need Han-na, who wasn't in the webtoon. Ji-eum causing the people in her past lives to be sick is so cruel. Imagine the guilt that she would feel if Ae-gyeong or Cho-won die, then having to carry the guilt to all her next lives.

Do-yoon is becoming my favorite character. I love how cold and stoic he is, yet would do sweet gestures like waiting for Cho-won to get off work and taking her arm and guiding her to the car. "Focus on walking when you walk," squee! I laughed when he recited word for word Ji-eum and Cho-won's conversation in the stairwell. Little brother Do-jin was cute when he met Ji-eum; I want him to meet Cho-won and call her "sister-in-law" too.

I didn’t expect the emotional aspects to hit so soon. The sisters acceptance was lovely. Also Seo Ha seems to be finally leaving the spot he was stuck inside for years. It was a lot of handle. And that final hug. So precious.

Everything is wonderful in this show. But I didn’t expect it to go dark so soon.

the build-up of Ji-eum's revelation to Cho-won was really well done and the sisters' arc is what's really keeping me attached to this drama... in all honesty I'm not buying the romance (the same goes for a lot of the other dramas I watch so it's most likely a me problem) so I don't quite mind even if the focus was on Ji-eum reuniting with her 18th life's family lol

that said, I can't wait to see what's at stake in next week's episodes... though they've set up Min-ki to be quite the ominous presence I don't think he'll be our antagonist in this story

First I want to shout out to Ha Yoon Kyung(Cho Won) because the way she matched Ki So You(young Cho Won) in the crying and mannerisms was masterful. I cannot wait for her lead roles. To say I sobbed when she told her about being her sister and then the hug when she decided to believe it, woof. I love all her interactions with her past relatives.

The way she fought those thugs was hilarious. She also did it in fabulous heels.

Onto our leads. That hug would have been better if he used his arms to hug her back. Also I love that this drama seems to understand the power of hugs. Sometimes you just need comforting.

I noticed some beanies annoyed with the constant flashbacks, I do believe it is the directors way of trying to get Seo Ha to remember what she said to him before she died. He is just trying to make it out, that is why they keep showing it, also in each flashback they add something new I noticed.

Cho-won knows the secret but has a hard time coming to terms with the possibility. The ulterior motive to get Seo-Ha makes sense to her but the other signals are too strong to make her angry and confused about Ji-Eum. It is torturing her. Cho-won is more angry than elated which is something Ju-won would not expect. Will the Episode 5 reveal bombshell truly be a regret since the reason why Ji-eum remembers: it destroys her loved ones in her past lives? When she reveals her past to her past loved ones, cosmic forces take that away from her. It appears the part-timer is a reaper of sorts and Hanna seems to be his helper (but also Seo-Ha’s mother?). The rule is apparently if you remember you past life and tell someone from it about yourself, bad things will happen to them. In other words, the cost to balance the past memories with the present is if revealed someone from her past has to be taken away from Ji-Eum.

We learn that Seo-Ha’s mother got sick and died, but why was she erased from the family and her son? There appears to be a parallel to Ju-Won’s her life- - - he was the target of the accident. Was it to eliminate his mother’s past memories because she also was reincarnated with memories? Do-Yun’s father was confirmed to be the driver who also died which is the reason Do-Yun is “close” to Seo Ha’s family. The introduction of Mr. Im as the Chairman’s lackey puts the murder mystery in an unflattering light. Why kill his own son? Or was this a misdirection so he would not learn who did it?

The fantasy-romance is quickly turning in to a melodrama with the inclusions of grim reaper vibes. A cascade of villains will be leashed upon our leads which will hijack the original premise. The set-up has now changed to someone having to make a noble sacrifice in order to balance out Ju Won's reincarnation.

Not going to lie, Do Yoon and Cho Won have got me fully onboard their ship and although the waves are a bit rocky at the moment, I know Do Yoon will turn it around eventually, but he better do a good job after rejecting our cutie Cho Won this many times...sigh.

And because of this couple, I ended up binging the webtoon LOL. Can't wait for the next episodes.

Unfortunately, this week was not as exciting as the previous two((( Do we really need some ADDITIONAL supernatural angst here? I'd say FL and people around her already have enough of that thanks to her. ahem, uniqueness. This better NOT be yet another "don't mess with karmic order even unintentionally or else" kind of story, I'm SO fed up with them currently! Niece better to live long enough to get confused over how she should address her uncle's kids with Seoha lol.

Speaking of which - is it just me or OTP's relationship progression slowed down a lot here? Boy's been fighting his attraction to JE for quite a while now, and his reasons of keeping that up remain the same, so it started to feel stale. We know for sure he doesn't exactly want her to stop and that he did pick up her uncanny resemblance to JW. So I expected him to make a step or two towards her as well, if only out of curiosity, but nah, he locked himself into his shell even deeper than before and I'm losing that nice initial feeling that there are indeed TWO people in this tango. Sorry, not a huge fan of watching someone dancing around a wall. Same for DY and CW, but x infinity - what does she sees in him again? No idea. Echoing @hacja 's sentiment here - whatever dude's valid reasons to reject the girl are, he certainly doesn't have to be such an ass about it. It's almost as if he's angry at her for giving him feelz he's not into acting upon, so he lashes out on her again and again... Meh. She deserves better.

Sisters reunion was cute and touching. Is the mom next, since she seems rather open to potential big reveal? I mean JW's one - sus dancer (?) girl that may or not may to be SH mom's reincarnation clearly has different plans, likely mostly involving unleashing whatever karmic curse she carries around for her past life contacts on her hubby's mistress. That I support wholeheartedly. Btw - was daddy Mun the one who ordered to ToD kids? I initially suspected mistress because duh, but now... And is that good for nothing guy Seoha's step bro/half-bro or what? I. Need. Answers.

P.S. If you have a habit similar to SH's, be kind to people around you and install "I'm not drowning, just meditating, don't worry" warning near the pool.

I really hate some of the changes this drama has made from the comic. The comic had the PERFECT story. They're adding unnecessary things that will just bloat up the story. I was already worried about only having 6 eps left, and that was without the new stuff they've added. These new elements probably won't get the attention that they deserve.

I feel like the additions are also making the romance and relationships suffer. Like someone was saying last week, they need time to breathe. The drama's focus on the past lives may be more dramatically interesting, and cinematic, but I think it's making the main relationship suffer a lot. In the comic, you felt like Seo-ha fell for Ji-eum, not just Ju-won.

I'm wondering too, since they made Do-yun's father the driver, if that's another reason he's holding back from Cho-won. That would actually make a lot of sense. The second leads were my absolute favorite part of the webcomic and that's holding even more true here, because like I said I think this drama is kind of flubbing the main romance.

Before I forget, I wanted to make a special mention of Cho Won's doll.

I had them when I was a kid!!!!!! I had one in blue and one in yellow. It was amazing because it looked exactly like me then, with my 2 dresses in blue and yellow 😂

Love the way this show is both surprising and predictable in all the best ways. I guess that's one of the main pluses of a 12 episode drama: there's no time to mess around. Cho-won finding out and (adorably) embracing the truth, Do-yoon overhearing and dismissing the truth, and Seo-ha instinctively knowing but refusing to acknowledge that same truth--it all makes sense based on what we know of these characters so far, and keeps the narrative tension building in a delicious way.

The reveal about Do-yoon's father being the driver, and that the likely culprit of this whole thing is directly connected to Seo-ha's father, wasn't that shocking but it still made for good drama. I also really loved Do-yoon's scene with Cho-won in the hotel lobby. It was a satisfying reversal of the gender dynamics we often see at play in scenes like this, where the woman has to worry about how even her most innocent, helpful actions towards a man with more money or in a position of power will be perceived as naked attempts to exploit that same man. Again, it's no surprise here that the obstacle to them getting together is not Do-yoon's lack of feelings, but his social position and his perception of its significance, but I still found his explanation to be poignant and legitimate. And those close-ups of him clenching his fist whenever Cho-won is disappointed or hurt just kill me.

The central romance is also good, and I like the way Seo-ha is a beta hero and someone everyone wants to protect and yet still able to physically and emotionally able to defend himself when need be. He deftly handled both the loan sharks and Ji-eum's loser of a brother.

I can, however, feel that we're building to some type of tragedy and deep regret on Ji-eum's part for making herself such an integral part of her loved one's lives. Things are surely about to come to a head with Ji-eum's niece/aunt, and I've grown so fond of their relationship that I can't help but be worried about the fallout. But again, I trust the show to balance out the sadness, and like DaebakGrits, also can't wait to find out what happens next.

The romance continues to be bland and the weakest link for me of the story,i totally sway more at Do-yoon & Cho Won's story arc... I'm actually quite happy they added the line were her meddling with the people and exposing her past life causing real consequences,makes it for a more meaty treat and hope we won't get the easy and clear cut resolutions but i doubt this will truly happen...Now we are sure the dancer girl is Seo Ha's Mom in her past life yet she keeps tabs from afar while she continues living her current life free of obsessions unlike our heroine...
It’s obvious Ji Eum’s Dad was the truck driver from back then….Curious how these threads tie little by little in this twisted ways,like even if she reincarnated so fast she doesn't have it easy at all and gets this blocks...

So Seo-ha was angry with Do-yoon keeping his father's story a secret from him, and Do-yoon was mad because he himself didn't say it out until now? Since it seems like he has come to term with the death of his father, and accepted that it is a accident over the years. Then even if their fight was a form of nonverbal communication, I don't find it understandable that Do-yoon threw the first punch to Seo-ha, who didn't do anything wrong, no?

It's also a chain reaction: being ridiculed by the other chaebol jerk for being Seo-ha's secretary isn't anything new to Do-yoon, but this time Cho-won was there to see it (and wrist-grabbed him out too). Having to explain which he just wanted to ignore/treated like nothing (when it's really not), plus a bit of the reason he hided from her, did affect his usual calmness when being confronted by Seo-ha later. While compared to Seo-ha, he might have it easier as their little fight got something off his chest, rather than adding newly learnt sad truth in; I guess Do-yoon being shaken there will then lead to him let it slip more around Cho-won judging the preview for next week.
Sorry I can't help speculating since it's same clothes meaning same day(?). Like such an eventful day, starting around the stairwell scene.

Somehow I didn't think about it right away, but we're at halfway mark already. Similar to the webtoon, the drama gets to skip building foundation of the secondary romance (like what do they see in each other), and focus more on how it will progress instead. I like them quite a lot, both separately as characters, and together (I even like their Subway scene as I can feel some tension there). However will definitely keep my expectation in check for how their story will be handled, in case it won't really address their issue (the class divide) properly before having them get together.

Is there someone here who knows Korean well enough to tell me what kind of accent is Ae-gyeong speaking with? It is the same one that Mu-deok spoke in AoS, and I'd really like to know what part of Korea it's from...

Ep 5 - It's a kind of Subway Sandwich episode. You think there is some flavor but it's all artificial and bland. The opening promised so much more than just another forgettable fantasy romcom in which situations feel contrived and plot drowns in cliches.

Maybe the plot isn't even trying to be logical. Why is CW so obsessed with SH???? The drama is not playing with love triangle charade anymore. She was five, he was the best friend of her older sister and she died. That was that. Is there anything in the webtoon that explains her insane behavior? Maybe drama just forgot to explain? Everytime he is around her he is awkward, guilty and embarrassed. After yet another of those stupid moments between them she meets the secretary and what does he do? He invites her for a beach stroll with his poor boss! He is the secretary! She is not welcome! And then SHE invites the strange subordinate! The entire invitation parade and beach dancing was so absurd and forced that it almost made the horrible Vitamin PPL seem ordinary.

Speaking of the secretary, this is ep 5 and we have no idea why he is so cold to CW, there is no interest in what should be the second couple.

The two mysterious side characters had one liners and still managed to be cheesy.

The loan sharks, somehow, were the high note of that episode even though it's ridiculous that SH would follow them to an empty street, that he is a ninja, and that DH's little brother would arrive at that exact moment, hear them with his supersonic hearing, and have BJW's number.

Nobody knows why SH keeps being reminded of JW but at least CW had her reasons to be suspicious and maybe now that she knows her character can start being reasonable.

Ep 6 - This was miles better! The Cheesy Ones seem to be some kind of Fate Police and they can give a sort of danger element to the plot, which was really needed since the romances were so awkwardly developed. Secretary is finally becoming a real boy instead of a bot and CH now acts as a logical person. Forget the fact niece is sick because kdramas always kill any nice old character and try to forgive the huge stupid coincidences everywhere. Secretary's father was the driver and nobody knew! Sure, very likely. The loan shark harassing JW's brother knew all about the murder and confessed at the exact moment the brother was listening behind the door???? Even more likely! As side questions. Did he get that celadon appraised before signing that paper? Does she have a secret stash of them?

The sisters' interactions are indeed the highlight of the week, and unexpectedly brought some tears.

I also think that the mystery girl was Seo-ha's mom in her previous life. I wonder though if Seo Ha's mom deliberately approached Ju won's family then because she knew about Juwon. She and the part timer seems they have known each other all the way back too.

I think Seo Ha and Jieum falling in love is already a foregone conclusion so I dont mind the show not showing the progression of their feelings esp Seo Ha despite ABY's impressive performance here. I am more invested on how are they moving forward beyond the romance.

This endless cycle of remembering past lives had to end soon, as I am sure it affected how Ji-eum lived all her other lives and this one, too. It was mentioned in eps before that as soon as Juwon remembered her past lives at the resort, she had nightmares and her mother could hear her crying desperately that she wanted this to end as she had enough. The only difference in this 19th life is that she 'woke up' with a purpose.

So I am looking forward a real happy ending when she blissfully loses this 'ability' and just live life as Ji-eum (or maybe as her 20th life?). With or without Seo-ha, is also fine with me as long as Seo Ha and the rest get healed from their respective trauma as their hapoy ending, too. Hopefully no one dies, esp Ae-gyeong.

Two strong episodes.

Shin Hye-sun + Ahn Bo-Hun. I enjoy watching them work together. Good chemistry. Strong actors.

Speaking of strong actors. Ha Yoon-Kyun (Cho-won) never disappoints. HYK is long overdue a lead role.

Love the interweaving of the previous lives into the 19th life.

Recently discovered character Kim Ae-Gyeong (actress: Cha Chung-Hwa) was Court Lady Choi from Mr. Queen. Good to see these two actresses working together again.

Does anyone else think Ha-Na is reincarnation of Seo-Ha's mother?

Finally, those child actors are OUTSTANDING!!! All of them. I can't write that enough.

The slip of the tonge in the starcase is in fact a strategy: with Cho-won declaration Do-yoon is tempted to forget everything that he heard. Or he will focus on this bit of the discussion.

As much as I like a good diction and vocabulary repetition to improve my learning, there was so many 갑자기 from all characters in ep 6 that it became distracting. I hope it's not a writer tic. (or that we will learn another adverb next week ?)

They're adding so much stuff to make conflict lmao. You meet someone from your past life? Guess what, they're gonna DIE.
Plus part timer boy is in league with hip hop baddie... I wonder if the latter is Seoha's mom like everyone is saying. (In which case, sorry for calling your reincarnated mom hot, dude)

Regardless, none of this is in the webtoon! Just like the evil mistress! ( altho I guess they needed her as a red herring... the jerk dad is probably using her for his own ends... but still, she feels like a refugee from a drama like The Real has Come lol)

I wouldn't be mad if all these changes improved on the webtoon's story but like... None of this feels necessary, especially when the whole drama is just 12 eps

Of the three dramas I'm watching this is the one I'm least invested in. The plot is just too silly, I don't believe any of these people exist. Whether they live happily ever after or get eaten by a space demon (or whatever the threat) I just don't care.

I haven’t read all the comments. I’m a bad Beanie for that.

Even so, I just wanted to say, here, almost a week “late”…

I have a baaaad feeling about this.
